It could be a phone call, a coffee, a walk, or an email. The same five minutes you might use on Facebook or Instagram or snap chat or flossing. The purpose is to spend time being there for each other in the Community, checking in about their current community projects/programs, goals, or challenges. The intended outcome would be as Iron Sharpens Iron; we too can as a community sharpen each other. We establish and broaden our circle of community support.
